And why? With what? No evidence. No motive. Nothing but their own little hate.
Now lets think. Shia hates Sunni. Sunni hates Shia. Shia makes "sermon denounced Bahai and Wahabi faiths". Sunni has killed thousands of people all over the world with suicide bombers and car bombs. Now who could have done this. Hhmm. Who? Who could have pulled this off? Who would want to do this?
I know, the CIA!!!!!!

Answer:
"Fars initially reported the explosion was caused by a home-made bomb.
Provincial Police Commander Ali Moaeyri later told Fars it "was not sabotage."
"Some live munitions may have been left behind at that location which could have been the cause of the explosion," Moaeyri said.
The police commander said the munitions were apparently left behind after a "Sacred Defense" exhibition was held at the mosque, which also serves as a cultural center."
At least we won't be seeing people attacking anyone over this, anymore (except for perhaps the stupidity of leaving live munitions sitting around like that).

I agree. Muslims say the same about Jews and Jews say the same about muslims but they are all normal people and a small minotiry is the issue. its all stereotyping a whole nation because couple of hundreds of uneducated cavemens who call them selves muslim decided to commit suicide and kill innocent people..so because of these hunders of people all america called the 1.5 muslims bad? South america and Asia dont have anything against muslims because these terrorists havent done any bombings yet but if they did, should the whole muslim nation be hated and announce a war against them like they did in Afganistan too? did the war even help? the same group who bombed 9/11 are even worse now, so even if they waged a war? osama bin ladin and his friends are still hiding somewhere so wage ware against these specific people and not MUSLIMS

''We aren't waring with all muslims,''
We just happen to be waging war in a muslim country, doesn't mean we are at war with muslims. I'm sure if you were a muslim who had a house in Afghanistan or Iraq that got bombed, you'd understand the distinction.

"Makes me wonder if maybe this could be a false flag op."
Maybe but the Iranian government is not universally loved by their own people. If we have any involvement in Iran it would be of "The Gang That Couldn't Shoot Straight" variety. Bush and Cheney would find a way to strengthen the Mullahs and their turd of a President in an attempt to undermine them.

crghss:: "Now how would a bomb explosion in Iran make USA want to attack them?"
How are explosions in Iraq in the interest of the Iranian Government when Iraq has a government that is friendly toward them? Still explosions, and pretty well everything else, in Iraq are constantly blamed on the Iranians. What kind of a sense does that make?
To attack Iran, the US needs an excuse, and if provoked enough, perhaps the Iranians will provide it.

OK I'll attempt a KISS. You see Iranians are Shia. To the west are Sunni. Iran wants a big enough influence in Iraq (via al-Sadr) as to prevent Sunni or Kurds from gaining to much control. Secondly, They DO NOT want a secular Iraq. The Mullah's greatly fear what has happened in the west with Christianity and don't want to be marginalized, lose power. So, first you have motive. Second you have the weapons made or bought from Iran. This is evidence. See how this work. So again, why would the CIA set off a bomb in northern Iran? For what gain?
BTW no, not everything is "blamed on the Iranians" quite a lot is blamed on the Sunni to.
I know, your whee little brain locked up and the only thing you can shout is "It's the CIA.

> destabilizing governments. that's the CIA's thing. the top of that hit list is, you guessed it, iran.
Well, so what the purpose for the CIA to "destabilize" the Iranian government? You know, such "destabalized" governments tend to start wars. Before you say "Oil" please consider that the oil production of Iraq today is way lower than it was in 1990. No wonder, things (including oil pumping facilities) are destroyed during a war.

Yes, this is exactly what I mean. As I've said, the oil production of Iraq today is way lower than it was in 1990 and one would have to be mentally retarded to suggest that the US President and his stuff did not know it would happen. Nevertheless, most of those blaming the US (and Israel, of course) for the war in Iraq suggest "Oil" as the prime reason.

Oil can mean a lot of things. It can mean oil production, but it can also mean manipulating oil prices, or controlling the supply, or depriving others of it for controlling them, or making sure that the oil stays in the ground for the time when there is a real shortage, or ensuring that the big American oil companies get the right to extract it. Who knows which one or which combination of reasons motivated the administration!

I would say that those blaming the US (and Israel, of course) for the war in Iraq and who suggest "Oil" as the prime reason are supposed to know what they're talking about. Don't you agree?

Of course it will. A destabilized iranian govt. will much easier be pushed into attacking Israel and the Mossad is VERY interested in half a Million Israelis killed as a result.

right now iran's stabilized govt is on its way to developing rocket and nuke tech that would be able to destroy israel. and, whether they really mean it or whether its just hypoerbole, iran's idiot leader has said as much.
derailing the current iranian govt would also derail this rocket/nuke tech effort.
duh.

I'm not sure what you mean by "derailing" but whatever it means such "derailing" will certainly not eliminate Iran and most probably will not stop its nuclear program. On the other hand, an unstable government will try to increase its stability by diverting people's attention to external enemies it will create by starting a war.

what is the motive for Cheney's recent comments about Iran? What do we gain by taking a hardline, 'do what we say first and then we'll negotiate' approach with them? Why did Bush refer to Iran as part of 'the axis of evil' when they were about the only Arab country where people held vigils in sympathy after 9/11?
Motive is a tricky area

Because Bush is only interested in the oil that flows in the Middle East. And because Bush is an idiot, a moron, and a warmonger who has destroyed America with his foreign & domestic policies.

No, he didn't write that speech; he only delivered it. I think Iran was the target from the very beginning with Afghanistan and Iraq as staging grounds. Of course Iraq's oil played a part too, and so did driving up the price of oil. I remember that before the wars, a barrel of oil hovered around $15 with oil companies complaining and stating that a price of $25 would be acceptable in the long run, providing sufficient profit. Well, that's ancient history by now, isn't it?

Iran has been sponsoring terrorism for so long, that it's inevitable that this scourge would eventually come home to roost.
I remember back when suicide bombings starting showing up in Israel (under the direction of the world's first arch-terrorist Arafat). Israel warned back then that this tactic would one day come back to haunt the Arab world, and that it would prove to be a bigger problem for them than for Israel. Prophetic words, as we have seen a proliferation of Arab suicide attacks against their fellow Muslims.

I wonder when Jihadists of the Keyboard are going to get on here and blame this on Israel, Jews, or Bush and Cheney? From what I've learned about them, a Muslim is a Muslim until he kills innocents in the name of Allah, then he never was a Muslim, but, an "evil Zionist" trying to make Islam look Satanic.

The Prophet Muhammad said ``Do not kill women or children or non-combatants and do not kill old people or religious people,'' and he mentioned priests, nuns and rabbis. And he said ``Do not cut down fruit-bearing trees and do not poison the wells of your enemies.''

Zawahiri recently amended the Prophet's words:
"We haven't killed the innocents, not in Baghdad, nor in Morocco, nor in Algeria, nor anywhere else," he said, according to the transcript, in response to the question: "Excuse me, Zawahiri, but who is it who is killing with Your Excellency's blessing the innocents in Baghdad, Morocco, and Algeria?"
"If there is any innocent who was killed in the Mujahideen's operations, then it was either an unintentional error or out of necessity,..."

There are always extremists in every faith tradition that twist and turn it to suit their needs. This kind of unethical behaviour surely isn't only an "Islamic" thing. Look at how Bush's evangelical leanings have informed his 'abstinence only' policy for pushing money in Africa on the HIV/AIDS front -- resulting in an incredible leap in infections and therefore deaths.

"There are always extremists in every faith tradition that twist and turn it to suit their needs. This kind of unethical behaviour surely isn't only an "Islamic" thing."
I'll put it bluntly, Islamist bombers are the only ones walking or driving into crowds of civilians for the sole purpose of killing innocents.
Your comparison is silly (to put it kindly)
Bush has given billions in aid to fight HIV/AIDS. A small part of that money is to encourage people to *not* be promiscuous. The only sure way to reduce infections.
And while we are on the subject, Dionys, I have heard stories that a few Islamic countries encourage people to not be promiscuous by brutally murdering those (mostly women) found to be guilty of the offense by a religious court.
You want to back up and try again?

Thank GOD he said, "...do not poison the wells of your enemies." Do you READ that, O Jihadists of the Pen? Muhammad said, "Do NOT poison the wells of your enemies." Now, if they will just believe that, even though it doesn't seem to be in the Quran.

What morons.
"Nothing to worry about folks, just a little problem with some leftovers from a local militia's 'arts and crafts' fair. Happens all the time."
Doesn't everyone have bomb making classes in their local cultural center/church?

Well at this time I don't suspect the CIA or American involvement.(what do I know, I'm a chef) There is enough unrest in Iran among it's people that this is most likely an inside (Iran) job. I was reading a book a few years ago, I can't remember the title, that was about the emerging Muslim movements in the middle east and throughout the aria of the Indian ocean. This was written by a man who traveled through the aria just after the Islamic revolution in Iran. One of the things he said about Iran was at the time of the revolution there was a competing revolution by communists who wanted to take the country in that direction. Obviously the Islamics won.But perhaps they are involved?

Nah, it was an accident chef.
"An explosion in a southern Iranian mosque that killed 10 people and wounded 160 after evening prayers Saturday night was caused by negligent handling of live munitions, not a bomb as first suspected, Iranian media reported."
Good find though and grats on getting recommended.

Why are munitions being stored in a house of worship anyways?
Do Muslims have assign a different meaning to house of worship then "western" folks?
Are mosques more like community centers than churches?
No insult, I just don't understand.

I'm pretty sure the war and deaths in Iraq have something to do with the West. That whole pre-emptive war thing.

A lot of what happens in the Middle East has to do with the "West." Our government, with the help of our "allies" has meddled around in the various ME regions since decades to protect our oil interests there. We've overthrown democratically elected leaders in the ME. The CIA trained Laden, Saddam & many others. Our government supports Israel in a conflict they have with their neighbors over land, resources & religious values; a conflict that's none of our business. Our government invaded Iraq, a country that was not involved in 9/11. And, as if Presidents like Reagan & Bush didn't do enough damage in the ME, we have an idiot like McCain who talks about Iran & says things he shouldn't.

Nah mark, this seems to have been an accident:

I'm guessing the story was updated after it was posted.
